Madden NFL 25 hits store shelves this afternoon and with it comes the bonus offer from Amazon that includes NFL Sunday Ticket. The award-winning franchise celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, and fans should be excited for this year’s installment.

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) officially launched Madden NFL 25 for the Xbox 360 and the PS3 this morning. Madden NFL 25 brings a brand-new precision modifier, 30 new moves, new gameplay designs and new mechanics. This year also offers fans the opportunity to take full control of their favorite NFL team with the new Owner mode within Connected Franchise. Set prices on everything from concessions to merchandise; draft, sign and trade players; upgrade and renovate your home stadium or even pack up the team and move to a brand-new city. Owners retain full control both on and off the field, and do everything from calling and running plays on game day to managing all aspects of a team’s day-to-day operations.

On top of all this, Infinity Engine 2 brings even more polished physics to the series, and the new Force Impact system enhances and improves stiff-arms, truck moves, the Hit Stick and more. All of these additions, enhancements and improvements result in the greatest Madden NFL experience ever, a game 25 years in the making.

“We’re giving the fans the most technologically advanced, fully-featured football experience of a generation,” said Cam Weber, General Manager of American Football for EA SPORTS. “The precision modifier, combined with Infinity Engine 2, creates the most realistic gameplay experience to date, and Owner mode gives fans the level of control over their favorite team they crave. Madden NFL 25 is the culmination of years of hard work, and we hope fans love playing the game as much as we’ve loved creating it.”

Madden NFL 25 also introduces a new way to play Madden Ultimate Team with Head-to-Head Seasons*, and the new Madden Share feature allows fans to find all the best rosters, playbooks, sliders and more, all created by the Madden NFL community.

Madden NFL 25 won’t only be coming to consoles today, as it also makes its debut on the App Store℠. Fans will be able to build a dominant squad of NFL stars to challenge their friends on iPhone® and iPad®. In addition to exhibition games, fans can also take on several seasons of Solo Challenges or participate in fast-paced Head-2-Head mode. With full control on both sides of the ball, you run the show in Madden NFL 25 on mobile devices. Madden NFL 25 will also be coming to Google Play this fall.

Embraced by fans and honored by critics for 25 years, Madden NFL is known as the NFL’s “33rd Franchise” due to its authentic gameplay, the development team’s unparalleled access to NFL resources and its prominent place in NFL culture.
